How to play a GIF file in Android?

Question

I want to play a GIF file in my current activity.

I have an XML file in which there is a layout.

I want to play the GIF in the same class Activity.

Is there a simple way to play a GIF file in an Activity class?

Answer 1

Android doesn't support the playing of animated GIF files. If you need to play them then you need to break them apart into frames, and animate each frame one by one.

This will let you split up the GIF file http://www.xoyosoft.com/gs/
